Anthony Ramos holds Melissa Barrera close in his brand new music video for “Say Less”.

The 29-year-old actor turned to Melissa, who he stars with in In The Heights, to play his love interest in the visual for his new song.

Anthony opened up about the song in a statement, saying that the “video is a depiction of two people in a fleeting inferno of a relationship — one that can never be stable — but is too amazing to give up in spite of the inevitable outcome. They’re keeping a flame alive that will eventually burn out or explode. Not sure how it’ll end up, but in the meantime ‘Say Less’.”

“I got what you need to numb the pain/Know what you want babe/Just say less, less, less,” the lyrics read.

You can next see Anthony and Melissa in In The Heights, out in theaters and on HBO Max on June 18th.

Anthony Ramos and Jasmine Cephas Jones, two of the original cast members in the show, are a real-life couple and they met while performing in the Broadway musical.

Anthony originated the dual roles of John Laurens / Philip Hamilton while Jasmine originated the dual roles of Peggy Schuyler / Maria Reynolds.

After the couple got engaged in January 2019, Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda tweeted about the first day they met. He said that at the first table read for Hamilton‘s off-Broadway run in 2015, Anthony kept “sneaking glances at our newest cast member, Jasmine.”

While posting about their engagement last year, Jasmine wrote on Instagram, “I love you beyond words and am so excited to continue this awesome journey with you.” Anthony said, “Thank you for saying yes to writing stories together for the rest of our lives. I’m honored and Blessed to marry you. LEGOOO.”

Late last year, Anthony gave Vogue an update on the wedding planning, which was still in the early stage. “Jasmine and I both love music, so the DJ’s gotta be on point,” he said. “I want people sweating, suit jackets off, chancletas on.”

You might also recognize Anthony from his work in the movie A Star Is Born and he’s starring in the upcoming film adaptation of In The Heights. Jasmine has stared in the movie Blindspotting and the HBO series Mrs. Fletcher.
